—Dayne Rusch, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, developed a mobile app that lets smartphone users (and their parents) manage social media usage on their devices, the Oshkosh Northwesternreported. The app, Pyxsee, is free to download from Apple’s App Store. However, it costs $2.99 a month to use Pyxsee’s parental control feature, which is “likely the part of [the] app that will sustain the company,” according to the newspaper. Rusch reportedly got the idea for the app after seeing so many people walking around with their heads down, fixated on their phones and oblivious to traffic.

—Discovery to Product (D2P), a program that helps UW-Madison students, faculty, and staff turn ideas into companies, plans to shift its focus toward coordinating entrepreneurship-related activities across the university. The reason: a money crunch. Since launching in 2013, D2P has drawn from a $2.4 million fund to invest in startups launched during the course of the program. However, D2P is close to exhausting the fund, said Andy Richards, the program’s interim director. As a result, there’s some “concern” among program staff that fewer people will come to D2P because they won’t be able to get funding from the organization, he said.
